The Environmental Protection Agency is holding a contest to make them a new app. This crowd-sourcing idea can help save the agency time and money while still getting some pretty good ideas. Joining In Depth with more information on how this program is doing is Malcom Jackson, the EPA’s assistant administrator in the Office of Environmental Information and the chief information officer.

Francis Rose is the host of In Depth, which airs weekdays from 4-7 p.m. on 1500 AM in the Washington, DC metro area and online everywhere. Francis has covered all three branches of the federal government as a broadcast journalist since 1998. He joined Federal News Radio in 2006, and launched In Depth in 2008 as a daily show focused on connecting federal executives to the information they need to do their jobs better.
